Very ambitious on Day 1...! I think what time of the year you are planning is important as cool or cold weather would drain some extra energy. As well, if you're planning to go over the top, you can add another 3.5-4.0 kms for altitude adjustment, so plan for closer to 36 kms. I guess you planning to also go all the way to Pamplona on Day 2? The good news is that they sell lots of ibuprofen and heat rub in all the pharmacia's thereBecause of pre bookings I've decided to go heavy on Day 1
SJDP to Espinal
Just over 32 km
Has anyone here walked that distance ?
My wife and I our 46 and 53 and have completed 6 Marathons, still healthy.
Because of the incline just making sure I'm not crazy!
Thx

While my wife and I were WALKING the camino there was a guy that was running a marathon every day on his camino. If you want to do it that way, just do it. You don't even have to ask.Because of pre bookings I've decided to go heavy on Day 1

We're walking April 23 and hoping to do the Napoleon route.
It was a booking issue but late last night I noticed an availability for a 2 bedroom in
Roncesvalles, double the price at $120 euro but I booked it.
1st day, as much as I feel I could make it farther I agree that it's maybe not worth the risk
I'll be in Pamplona by day 3 so better to average out Day 1 and 2 better
Thx
For all the input

Yes booking.comGlad to see that you found something. This sounds like a 4-bed apartment at the hotel. Did you use Booking.com? The hotel's website/reservation system itself shows still availabilites for 2-bed rooms at half the price for 23 April.
I tried looking, to me it looks like $65 E for 2 people 1 bedroom and $120E for 4 people 2 bedroom Which is what's available ?Glad to see that you found something.

Thanks, I was booked at the Casa de los Beneficiados in a 2 bedroom, i booked directly through the hotel Roncesvalles website and managed to get a 2 person room for $66 EuroI looked at: http://www.hotelroncesvalles.com/#reservas.html . You can switch to English for the reservation. I see availabilities for 1 room for 2 persons at 66 EUR for 23 April. They seemed to have revamped their website since last year. I can't enter my first name but other than that it lets me proceed as far as entering credit card details and then, obviously, I stopped trying it out. No penalty for cancellation until 2 days before arrival.
There are also rooms at Casa Sabina and Hostal Posada - I think they are not on Booking.com - and, obviously, the albergue mentioned above.
It's my turn to walk the French Way in April. From what I have read on this site, the people who don't finish the French Way sustained one or more overuse injuries while trying to crossing the Pyrenees in one day. Something to consider.

Some of the most stressed people I have seen along the way are those who have over over planned.
Setting rigid plans, bookings, stopping points, etc. instead of taking it as it happens takes all spontaneity out of your adventure.
Keep it as loose as possible.
